With the exception of the stretch of single track from Annadale to Pleasant Plains, the entire system of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad is equipped with the Hall Automatic Block Signal System. The entire north and east shore divisions from St. George to Arlington on the north side of the island and from St.

George to South Beoch on the east shore, has been equipped with the system for some time. About a year ago the system was Installed from Tottenvillee to Pleasant Plains. Now It has been completed from Clifon Juncion to Annadale and is In working order. In the new section there are forty-seven new stops or targets placed along the line of the road. As soon as the grade crossing i at Huguenot is completed and the way for a double track from Annadale to Pleasant Plains the Hall system will be extended over the entire road.

W. S. Dryden, superintendent of electrical construction, of the Rapid Transit, was in charge of the work. By the installation of this system the work of the various telegraph operators along the line is lessened in reporting trains in and out of the blocks. With the installation of this system and the placing of gates and flagmen along the line the public are well protected traveling across the island.
